Head End Quarry forms one of a series of small limestone quarries found in the Carboniferous Limestone which forms a ridge around the northern edge of the English Lake District.
The quarry has a south facing aspect and is about 30 feet high and 140 feet long. It is relatively quick to dry, has a series of single pitch routes which are suitable for novices.

Perhaps the complete opposite of last meets Dow Crag – Head End Quarry is short single pitch limestone, in a small compact quarry which makes this a good sociable meet. Most climbs are Diff to VS. See attached guide.
I intend to be at the quarry from 15.30. Weather is looking great for this meet. Parking is directly outside the quarry, please car share where possible.

Another glorious sunny afternoon/evening was spent climbing in good company. The heights of head end quarry were repeatedly climbed, the full range of available grades were tackled but too many lines to name them all – must have been the vasty majority of the climbs! It was a large team of Craig, Carol, Anna, Kathy P, Steve P, Steve H, Aileen, Mike K, Pete, Jonathon, Mark W, Mick, David, Mike W, Cath S, myself and a couple of guests, Phil and George. (Apologies if I missed anyone!).
A very pleasant climbing session was rounded off by a large group going for refreshment at the Greyhound Inn, Bothel.
